My last session before the #APALA Literature Awards Banquet: "How Media Literacy Is Fundamental to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice (EDISJ).

I'm not able to upload the title slide yet since the safety check for photos are still acting up... I tried. #ALAAC23

Needs can be very different from what you've previously known. Without getting to know your community (in this case, urban teens), you don't know those needs. Meet them (teens) where they are. #ALAAC23

When working with marginalized populations, you have to dig out a lot of untold truths... A lens on hypercrimnalization of BBIMP cohorts. Giving a safer space to discuss this.

For the project being discussed, participants had to curate a lot of newspapers and other media. #ALAAC23

Fake news is not new, but there was a panic after 2016.
We sometimes just get siloed. We're the ones best positioned as information Specialists and educators to help counter false information. #ALAAC23

We are all steeped in cis/het/white norms. Who is bringing what to the table, though? Adjust your examples. Establish a report. Find out needs. Meet the where they are. Make rapport and connection. #ALAAC23

Question asked how to deal with staff resistance.
If there is an opportunity to switch people around...Hiring more intentionally. Trying to get staff out of their comfort zones (Sometimes it may just start with a conversation on shoes...) Anything to expose staff to new experiences. #ALAAC23
